Their stout play has led to great results of late, with only the powerhouse Dallas Stars having conceded fewer goals over the last two months.

Ottawa is pairing improved goaltending with strong defensive play, setting them up to slow down the league’s 22nd-ranked offense.

Scoring will also be a challenge against the New York Islanders, who rank third in goals against and will trot out Vezina candidate Ilya Sorokin.
